PropUQ-MAS: Propagation-Aware Uncertainty Quantification for LLM Multi-Agent Systems

PropUQ-MAS is a framework for uncertainty quantification in large language model (LLM) multi‑agent systems that models the system as a communication‑structured graph. It estimates the reliability of each step by combining local uncertainty with uncertainty inherited from upstream messages, addressing the risk of error propagation in inter‑agent communication. Experiments show consistent improvements in UQ metrics, with average gains of +6.10% in AUROC and +47.58% in PRR.

From Sequence to Structure: Relational Uncertainty Propagation for LLM Agents

The paper introduces RUPA, a trajectory‑level uncertainty quantification framework for large language model agents. RUPA models an agent’s execution as a directed graph of reasoning states, tool interactions, and environment feedback, then propagates uncertainty across this graph to capture long‑range dependencies. Experiments on benchmarks such as τ‑2, Terminal‑Bench‑2, and GAIA show that RUPA outperforms existing methods, enabling earlier failure detection and more reliable agent execution.

SDAD: Spec-Driven Agentic Development for the AI-Native SDLC

The paper introduces Spec-Driven Agentic Development (SDAD), a framework that leverages large language models to ingest extensive functional requirement documents and repository context in a single workflow, turning specification quality into the engine for autonomous software delivery. SDAD blends disciplined upfront formalisation with rapid implementation, encompassing intent capture, machine‑readable specifications, agentic synthesis, and multi‑agent verification with human sign‑off. It positions AI‑code as a fourth production paradigm, compares it to traditional Waterfall and Agile approaches, and extends the model to team role evolution, quantitative governance metrics, and a staged migration blueprint for practical adoption.
